The Science of Identity Foundation was established by Jagad Guru Chris Butler in 1977 in order to pass on the ancient teachings of yoga in a scientific, logical, and clear manner so that people can, with intelligence, seriously contemplate upon, consider, and apply them in their own personal lives to achieve optimum physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

The Science of Identity Foundation seeks to provide information and services to individuals who are serious about learning yoga practices and philosophy with the intention of applying them in their personal lives. Yoga is an individual (rather than a team) pursuit or endeavor.

The Science of Identity Foundation conducts yoga classes, seminars, and other activities to make these practices and teachings available. Around the world many disciples and students of Chris Butler are making these teachings and practices available to people in their neighborhoods and communities by teaching yoga in hospitals, old age homes, fitness clubs, spas, community centers, etc. A number of these yoga teachers have started yoga organizations and schools of their own in different countries.

The Science of Identity Foundation presents ancient yoga/Vedic wisdom tailored to modern-day audiences through television, Internet, books, and video and audio recordings.
